Renal Replacement Therapy and Kidney Transplantation in Paraproteinemias

Abstract

Sagar Gupta ,Thin Thin Maw *

Paraproteinemias are systemic disorders which cause renal lesions due to deposition of intact immumoglobulins or immunoglobulin fragments. These diseases are difficult to manage and can lead to end stage renal disease. The advances in the field include newer chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cells which can reverse renal failure in some cases. This review seeks to provide a greater understanding of the trends and outcomes of renal replacement therapy including kidney transplant in patients with paraproteinemic kidney diseases.
